Rihanna's 'Friend of Mine' debuts at #1 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100

I saw Lilo & Stich last Friday. And there was Smurf trailer attached to it. And let me tell you that not even movie theater's sound system make the sounds of this song bearable 

Most people were in disbelief.

This song shouldn't chart at all...

Genuine question, is there anything lower than the Bubbling 100s? Or does that chart not exist anym

Songs that didn't chart in the Billboard Hot 100 can chart under Bubbling Under 100 chart. 

It's like #101-#200, however songs that already charted in the Billboard 100 don't chart there, so #101 is technically not #101, it's like grace marks teachers give to make the students pass.

Basically songs at #101 to #200

If ur song reaches #101 then its #1 on bubbling under. Katy Perry does extremely well on this chart these days

I've always mentally pictured the charts numbers as a line going down - 100 at top, 1 at bottom (since it's called a countdown not a count up)
But since reading this page it's easier to view it going up now, so anything bubbling under is like in the lava pits of hell desperately trying to climb to the surface

Right, but that’s an important distinction. A song that’s #1 on Bubbling Under would not necessarily enter the Hot 100 if song 100 dropped off, for example.

It's the sewer rats of charts basically

I forgot about this detail that songs that have reached top 100 womt go back in that chart after

 

@Jackaroo i explained it slightly wrong then. Since songs that have reached hot 100 do not enter back into bubbling, then to say its #101 to #200 is not entirely accurate

I'm convinced that her team makes her put out a new song, whether solo or feature every few years just to see how it does in the charts to gauge how big the public demand is for a comeback. First, there was the feature on the NERD song, Lemon, in 2017. Then the feature on the PartyNextDoor song, Believe It, in 2020. Then Lift Me Up on the Black Panther soundtrack in 2022. None of these songs did well. Lift Me Up debuted pretty well but that song came and went, radio doesn't play it anymore, it didn't win its Oscar or Grammy, even the soundtrack as a whole wasn't as big a deal as the first one. And now we have this. Basically, she could easily put out an entire album if any of those songs smashed. But until any of them do, it's not happening. Surely by now, her fans see this pattern and realise if they want her to come back, they just need to hop on one of these songs, no matter how bad it is? But they won't. It tells me that the demand isn't as strong as her fans make it out to be.

debuted at #1

This is truly awful, seeing people trying to justify it being good is beyond me. 7 writers for this garbage, lazy effort. I’m so glad GaGa, even with a makeup brand and other ventures, still cares deeply about the work she puts out.
